The Happy List

Are you ready? Almost ready? I've finished the wrapping and only have some baking to do. The problem with baking goodies is the temptation to eat the baked goodies.

My Happy list:

-two cups of hot tea instead of one a day, feels decadent
-Christmas tree lights, houses decorated for the season
-the Advent calendar my mom made when we were first married
-nearing the shortest day of the year this weekend
-daily walks in mild late fall weather as we approach winter
-the hoot of the owl in the woods in the morning
-the deer that greet me every day
-quiet mornings full of promise
-the rare avocado that is good inside
-finishing off projects making room for some new knits
-the kindness of others
-the anticipation of my children home for the holidays
-a clean kitchen at the end of the day

Very nice list Karen! # 1 on my list would be the fact that we're on Christmas break until January 5th! :-) The girls and I are planning on a girls day out today, I'm looking forward to a friends birthday party tomorrow and some relaxing, knitting and calm days ahead! Have a beautiful weekend and happy days!

MY children are BOTH home now. First time since August. Al and Nathan drove 16 hours to get here. They are nestled all snug in their beds catching zzzzzs. The christmas Cookies lasted in the freezer and will be opened tonight Let the party begin

I love the idea of a happy list. The first things that come to my mind are: being with my children, two cups of coffee each morning, a daily walk in the brisk air, and curling up with a good book and plenty of uninterrupted time to read it!
